Accomplishing our mission takes a team of people who are dedicated to treating others as they expect to be treated and who consistently demonstrate mutual respect for one another. If each of us do one small thing each day to improve our service, our team, our centers and our company, our individual and collective potential is unlimited. At OIA, we hold our employees in high regard as the key component to our success.
About Our Company
OIA was founded in 2000 and is headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee. OIA partners with healthcare providers such as health systems, academic medical centers, and radiology groups to develop, market and operate quality, patient-friendly, service-oriented outpatient imaging centers. OIA’s business model is to invest equity in each project alongside its local partners while providing development, management, marketing, billing and collection services to the joint venture.
OIA can assist in identifying and evaluating markets for development and acquisition targets. OIA manages the analysis and due diligence process, provides capital, secures financing and takes responsibility for managing and marketing the centers on behalf of the partnership once the development or acquisition is complete.
OIA’s management team, which possesses more than a combined sixty years of experience managing freestanding and hospital-based facilities, provides a turnkey solution that minimizes the effort and risks involved in operating outpatient imaging centers. OIA centers range from single to full-modality facilities offering PET/CT, MRI, CT, ultrasound, mammography, nuclear medicine, bone densitometry (DEXA) and plain film X-ray procedures.
Our Leadership
OIA principals have established a reputation within the healthcare and financial communities as individuals of the highest integrity and character. It is a reputation we are protective and proud of, as we build partnerships driven by customer service, honest and open communications, and sound business decisions. Our strength is in our dedication to excellence in serving the needs of patients, referring physicians, employees, and venture partners.

As the culmination of a two year project, OIA and Augusta University Health celebrated the Grand Opening of AU Health Imaging with an Open House on November 4, 2020. Katrina Keefer, CEO of AU Health System, Charles Howell, MD and CEO of AU Medical Associates and Annette Johnson, MD and Chair of the Department of Radiology were among the honored guests to attend the ribbon cutting. AU Health Imaging is a full modality outpatient imaging center designed to bring patients a convenient, friendly location for imaging services while providing affiliated and community based physicians a premier location for their patient’s imaging needs.

To promote breast cancer awareness, the last 3 years we have held the Rosa@Medalonia Cellars event. We focus on patient education around the importance of annual screening mammograms. We have information tables about our center and our Women’s services. With a live band, wine and a silent auction, this is always a great time! All proceeds from the auction go to our 3 P fund (Positive Pink Promotion). These funds are used for FREE mammograms to the underserved in our community. Our first year we raised $900. Last year we raised $3000 and fingers crossed that we can do it again this year.

Jefferson Outpatient Imaging co-hosted a community event for the public at our newest location in South Philadelphia. The event included health information, food, giveaways, and a visit from the Phillie Phanatic who was kind enough to take pictures in our new center.

Fort Jesse Imaging family and friends team up on a Saturday every year to volunteer at our local food bank. This is a great opportunity for us to come together as a larger group and give back to our community. The foodbank serves many local food pantries, provides food for local events that give to those in need, and also serves on a larger scale during catastrophes and to other agency partners across the Midwest.
Supporting Your Communities:
Ft. Jesse Imaging & Gale Keeran Center for Women partnered with the Community Health Care Clinic, a local free clinic who provides healthcare, dental services, pharmacy, etc., to those who are uninsured or under-insured and qualify for their services. Typically breast imaging is covered at no cost to women who are insured and we want to help fill that gap. We designate a Saturday every year to serve these women. We are typically able to serve 35-50 women with screening mammograms and additional imaging, as needed.
